Flipside: social backlash caused by Trump & this SCOTUS will be greater than Gilded Age—which led to Teddy Roosevelt & progressive Trust-busting—or 1920s casino capitalism & Great Depression leading to New Deal & Eisenhower public investment. Current lawlessness & inequality far exceeds those eras.

📌 Prediction 1: this will be Jake’s most important fundraiser—at $1M he’s personally taking the Train to Kyiv. 📌 Prediction 2: bc of the connections he’ll make there, Broe will soon be a major unofficial 🇺🇸 ambassador to 🇺🇦 on behalf of the everyday American public who continues to support Ukraine.

We call it AI slop-trolling. How many windows does the Commerce Bldg have facing the WhiteHouse? Why would it be flying the incorrect Betsy Ross flag…against 4 USCode § 5-10? Commerce Bldg (which is across 15th street) does not extend into the Whitehouse lawn. That would put it overtop the street.

Carney’s comments are an indictment of the US Supreme Court every bit as much as they are of Trump. It was this John Roberts SCOTUS who whole-cloth invented presidential immunity, placing Trump above the law—in violation of the US Constitution & equal application of the Rule-of-Law Carney addressed

Every powerful tool is dangerous in the wrong hands. That’s neither a dismissal of the need for caution, restraint, regulation with regard to access to powerful tools — nor a diminishment of the risks that cut both ways.

I’m more acutely aware how “horseshoe” politics are exploited by anti-democracy propagandists—who leverage far-left as useful idiot tools equally as much as far-right L/R extremes both lean into post-truth identity politics to self-sort into entrenched factions…voluntarily dividing, being conquered

I’d argue Ds need to change that party fundraising structure in terms of centralized donor $ intake / allocation to “most-critical nat’l races” — instead give D candidates (& voter/donors) more say in where their own campaigns’ donations go But that’s a whole other convo w its own array of context

Context is crucial on a platform w/ 300 character post-limits…forcing shorthand, brevity, omission My post responded to the preceding thread specifically referencing D leadership And…D leadership DO play an outsize roll in D campaign fundraising—D party donated $ centralization = wholly unlike Rs

Dems Double Down on Fundraising From SpaceX and Palantir Lobbyists

SUMMARY
Senate Democrats have joined their House counterparts in fundraising from the top lobbying firm for the Trump and Musk-tied companies.

They've done it again. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) has taken in another $1.3 million from lobbyists at Invariant-the bipartisan firm representing Trump-friendly companies SpaceX and Palantir—according to a new FEC filing. Hot on the heels of the $2.5 million it took from the same group of lobbyists in January, this latest haul shows House Democrats' campaign arm is more than comfortable cozying up to the very corporations thriving under the administration they say they are fighting.
Invariant, the highest-paid lobbying firm for both Elon Musk's Space and the Peter Thiel co-founded Palantir, has now bundled nearly $4 million to the DCCC since the beginning of the year.
And it's not just House-side Democrats raising money from the firm. According to a post on LinkedIn, Invariant hosted a fundraiser for the Senate Democratic leaders last month as well, where its cadre of lobbyists likely helped to bundle big bucks for leadership members like Chuck Schumer or potentially the Kirsten Gillibrand-led Democratic Senatorial
Campaign Committee (DSCC).

…Something tells me you stopped reading after the first few words, incorrectly assumed I was critiquing D leadership—rather than the systemic problem created by Rs & their corrupt Justices who’ve betrayed constitutional law, corrupted campaign/election/antitrust regs to favor Rs, oligarchs, fascism

Also the uncomfortable reality: Dem leadership is beholden to campaign $ of private/corp./foreign lobby…who prefer GOP deregulation, regressive tax policy that cannibalizes budgets & civil society to redistribute wealth upward But SCOTUS media & election regulation gutting makes more $ necessary

Didn’t say anyone had to be an intellectual to understand this. Sociological studies consistently show: approx 1/3 of every population—across all cultures—gravitate toward Black/White binary thinking, [over]simplified answers, & authoritarians who provide them It is not—has never been—unique to US

010

J. Allen Kaiser @jallenkaiser.bsky.social · 12/04/2026

My point: these are the 1/3 of the population who’re drawn to oversimplified answers, black-&-white thinking, authoritarians etc The takeaway is not that 1/3rd of the population is entrenched fundamentalists—they’re just not reached by nuance or intellectualism…and change in approach can reach them

010

J. Allen Kaiser @jallenkaiser.bsky.social · 12/04/2026

…And when you look at actual weekly church attendance and knowledge-of / proficiency-in passages from biblical text, the number of truly fundamentalist Christians is actually quite low, much lower than that 38% figure suggests.

100

J. Allen Kaiser @jallenkaiser.bsky.social · 12/04/2026

I hear you, but adjacent polling of that 38% demographic also shows they disproportionately (to the other 62ish%) respond in the affirmative to questions like: “Do you believe aliens may have built the pyramids?” …suggesting more a lack of critical thinking than an adherence to fundamentalist belief

“He who does not know what he’s doing only faces enemies who do not know what he is doing either” Or, in the words of Lewis Black, explaining Reagan’s popularity among anti-soviet GOP: “When your enemy is psychotic, the only way to win is: you have to be *even more* psychotic” …& thus we got MAGA

J. Allen Kaiser @jallenkaiser.bsky.social · 12/04/2026

Arguably, “humans in their present form” could be interpreted by a poll participant as the whole species—rather than the individual organism—which wd make 10,000yrs accurate: human civilization is ~10k yrs old …That’d mean “humans’ previous form” = nomad hunter/gatherers—w/o agriculture, writing etc

100

J. Allen Kaiser @jallenkaiser.bsky.social · 12/04/2026

I’d point out how squishy that definition of “creationist purism” is tho “in their present form within the past 10,000 years” is very different from creationist dogma: “God created man in his image”—along w Earth—6000yrs ago…humans only ever existed in present form…didn’t evolve from previous one

100

J. Allen Kaiser @jallenkaiser.bsky.social · 12/04/2026

Of course there’s a clear plan — it’s just that 38% don’t mind that the plan was Russian and is wholly destructive to the US, to themselves, and even to Trump & his regime…nor do they care that even though they were instrumental to that plan, they, Trump, and his corrupt regime weren’t privy to it.

Pam Bondi is a Great American Patriot and a loyal friend, who faithfully served as my Attorney General over the past year. Pam did a tremendous job overseeing a massive Crackdown in Crime across our Country, with Murders plummeting to their lowest level since 1900. We love Pam, and she will be transitioning to a much needed and important new job in the private sector, to be announced at a date in the near future, and our Deputy Attorney General, and a very talented and respected Legal Mind, Todd Blanche, will step in to serve as Acting Attorney General. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD

Overcoming it is totally possible, but it’s a learned skill, requires a lot more cognitive processing, deliberate mental effort, delay of emotional reaction …That’s increasingly hard to do in an increasingly fast-paced info space, so bad actors exploit it by flooding-the-zone & cognitive overload

💯 In-group/out-group is an easily exploitable achilles heel bc human animals have evolved to unconsciously lean into tribalism…& recognizing one’s own cognitive dissonance, biases, & hypocrisy—& those of one’s in-group—was not something naturally selected for in coding the “software” we operate on.

I think acquiescing to Orban would set a far more dangerous precedent…basically giving license to countries like 🇭🇺 🇸🇰 🇷🇺 🇨🇳, etc to commit what is essentially piracy—theft to obtain bargaining chips for negotiations over whatever they demand. That’s toxic to both internat’l trade/finance AND diplomacy

J. Allen Kaiser @jallenkaiser.bsky.social · 10/03/2026

Some of those loudest & most popular among them—just as among Christian Nat’lists—are foreign sockpuppets & propagandists, amplifying the most extreme rhetoric of L & R factions in liberal democracies to tear away at moderate centrism & social cohesion by turning the politics increasingly corrosive.
